It was too late by the time Xante realized what Aaron was doing.
The video call went through, and Sunny's face peeked out unhappily from the screen.
He lifted his chin proudly and said, "I've decided to forgive you, Xante. I'm partly to blame for what happened today since I shouldn't have gone to your workplace to bother you. I promise I won't do it again and will only find you after you've clocked off work."
Aaron tutted. "Not bad, Mister Sunny. It didn't take you long to learn from your mistake."
Sunny immediately glared at the screen when he realized it was Aaron he was talking to. "You again! Why do you have Xante's phone?"
Before Aaron could say anything, Xante snatched her phone and said, "I'm hanging up now."
"Wait! Xante—" Sunny did not get far as Xante turned off her phone.
After that, she glared at Aaron. "What the heck is wrong with you?!"
Aaron shrugged. "I just want to see whether Mister Sunny is serious about you, and I got my answer. He might be sort of spoiled, but at least he's willing to learn from his mistake. I think you should continue dating him."
"As if!" Xante rolled her eyes at him before turning her face away and closing her eyes to take a short rest.
Aaron grinned cheekily but his face fell when he realized Annie was looking at him with disgust from the rearview mirror.
…
Finally, the trio arrived at the Holdens' mansion.
Annie got out of the car and was curious to find so many bodyguards stationed around the mansion. She rang the doorbell, and Bowen's face immediately appeared on the monitor.
'Bowen must've gone to ask Corinne for further instructions, but… Since when did the security here become so tight? I don't remember seeing this many bodyguards before,' thought Annie.
Xante and Aaron got out of the car too. They looked at each other when they saw the bodyguards around the mansion.
After a while, Bowen along with a few other servants came out with some sort of security tools on their hands.
"Hey Bowen, did Corinne give us the green light to go in?" asked Annie.
Bowen looked seriously at Xante and Aaron before saying, "Miss Annie, since we've never met your friends before, they'll need to go through a security check to ensure there are no dangerous items on them. Only then would they be allowed to see Miss Corinne."
Annie was stunned. 'They have to go through security checks?'

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
